[Hiring] Senior Product Engineer @Checkly

Role Description

The best developers don't wait for a customer to tell them something's broken. They catch it first, in the pull request, in staging, or in the checkout flow at 3am, before a single user notices. That instinct is Checkly's whole reason to exist. We give developers and their agents the tools to own reliability the way they own their code: end-to-end tests and synthetic monitoring defined as code, powered by OpenTelemetry and Playwright, versioned and reviewed like everything else they ship. From pull request to post-mortem, in one place.

Here's the thing about 2026: AI agents and coding assistants are shipping more software, faster, than any team could review by hand, and more of it is breaking in ways nobody has seen before. You will build reliability for this kind of software.

Our stack is AI (Codex, Claude, use what you like best), Vue.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Golang, Postgres, ClickHouse and AWS. We ship to prod all day, every day. We practice Agile (not scrum) and take pride in good documentation and good looking products.

We’re a remote-first startup that keeps things simple—low on meetings, high on productivity, and always shipping. If you love building cool things, working async, actually listening to and working with customers, and keeping it lean, you’ll fit right in!

What you'll do

• Build and ship with AI: Actively use coding agents for full stack development, from exploring solutions and generating scaffolding to refactoring, test generation and debugging.
• Talk to our users: Engage directly with developers, DevOps, and SRE teams to understand their workflows, pain points, and feedback.
• Find the right problems to solve: Focus on real developer pain, such as flaky tests and unclear failures, and favour pragmatic solutions.
• Own your work end to end: Shape initial ideas, implement and rollout, and monitor production behavior.

Qualifications

• You have shipped features with AI, not just experimented with them.
• You have taken work from zero to shipped with a comparable stack.
• You have built and run production software.
• You know the realities of operating software that people depend on.
• You can hold a product conversation, not just a technical one.
• You work well without an office around you.

Requirements

• FULLY remote role, within the UTC-3 to UTC+3 time zones.
• Ability to travel to (other) European countries without waiting for a visa appointment.

What you will hate about us

• We use AI for everything; AI skepticism is not a thing here.
• We write more than we talk; decisions happen in documents and threads, not meetings.
• We are lean; you own the unglamorous parts too.
• We ship constantly and change our minds; priorities move as we learn from customers.
• Customer signals come first; we build what customers actually want.

Benefits

• Transparent salary based on a standardized salary calculator.
• Remote-first, flexible work hours, async-first culture.
• Become part of a fast-growing, international, and remote team.
• Stock options.
• 27 days of paid vacation + local public holidays.
• Paid sick leave & up to 14 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Co-working budget or home office setup.
• Annual company kickoffs.
• Employee & contractor options.

What we pay

• €88k - €105k for someone in a similar cost of market as UK, Germany etc, + stock options.
• €79k - €97k for someone in a similar cost of market as Spain, Poland, Ukraine etc, + stock options.
